A pelican hunts fish in the water. As the pelican flies above the water’s surface, why must it aim for the fish in a slightly different place than where the fish appears to be located?

Light reflects off the fish, except for light of the wavelength the fish absorbs, making the fish hard to see.

Energy from the ocean waves is transferred to the light waves.

Light waves are refracted as they travel from air to water.

Water absorbs most of the light, so not much light reaches the pelican’s eyes.

Afaulty model rocket moves in the xy-plane (the positive y direction is vertically upward). the rocket's acceleration has components ax(t) = ? t2 and ay(t) = ? ? ? t, where ? = 2.50 m/s4 , ? = 9.00 m/s2 , and ? = 1.40 m/s3 . at t = 0 the rocket is at the origin and has velocity ~v0 = v0x ? i + v0y ? j with v0x = 1.00 m/s and v0y = 7.00 m/s. (a) calculate the velocity and position vectors as functions of time. (b) what is the maximum height reached by the rocket? (c) sketch the path of the rocket. (d) what is the horizontal displacement of the rocket when it returns to y = 0?

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster thatwill carry two passengers per car. the car goes up a 10-m highhill, then descends 15m to the track's lowest point. you'vedetermined that the spring can be compressed a maximum o 2.0m andthat a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400kg. for safetyreasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimumneeded for the car to just make it over the top. a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ? b) what is the maximum speed of a 350 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.
